The Ontario premier, the PC and NDP energy critics offer their take on making hydro more affordable for consumers

Duelling commentary: Energy analysts go head to head on whether renewable energy is to blame for rising hydro rates

Quiz: can you guess which device in your home is the bigger energy hog?

Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland

Daren Goodchild is one of many Ontarians struggling with surging hydro rates. He lives on a farm in rural Markham and says the electricity costs of running his small farm have become insanely high. for refurbishment in the near future.

“A decline in nuclear production and a sharp increase in cost is about to happen,” Adams said.

Keith Brooks, programs director at Environmental Defence, is pleased the government’s plan includes conservation initiatives like the $200 million Affordability Fund, which helps people make their homes more energy efficient.

But he said the government’s reforms make no changes to the supply mix – the amount of power we get from nuclear versus gas versus wind. “… To keep costs low, we need to see more renewables in Ontario’s future,” he wrote in an opinion piece for Metroland Media.

“Wind and solar power costs are plummeting, while costs for nuclear power are rising. Renewable energy has created a solid foundation for a clean economy – one that Ontario now needs to

build upon.”

Ontario’s PC and NDP energy critics both say halting the sale of public electric companies is priority Number 1. The cost to consumers is being hijacked by the drive for profit. “…Because of the way these new private power contracts are written, we are stuck paying guaranteed profit for power plants whether we need them or not,” said Peter Tabuns, NDP energy critic. “Right now, Ontario generates more power than we can use, about $2 billion a year worth of surplus power that we sell to Quebec and New York at a deep — 75 per cent — discount.

In fact, many times we have to pay them to take our power.”

Transparency on the government’s current energy contracts is also lacking, said Todd Smith, PC energy critic.

extensions from the government that drag the project out years beyond what was envisioned by the original deal,” he said.

“That’s not something you do if you’re on the side of the people paying hydro bills.”

Mark Rodger, a lawyer with Borden Ladner Gervais and an expert in the utility sector, meanwhile, said delivery charges are a necessary hit. Simply being hooked up to hydro costs money even when energy is not being used.

Those costs could be cut, however, should some of Ontario’s 60-plus utility companies merge.

By having different companies running their own distribution systems, he said, it adds $1 billion in costs.

“Through consolidation, you can remove those costs through efficiency gains,” he said.

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com It started with hotdogs.

In the early 1980s, just after Lorne Freid graduated from university and was trying to chart out his life, he went to a Blue Jays game.

Now CEO of the Alzheimer Society of York Region, the then-young man pondered what happened to unsold ballpark hotdogs in a city where thousands of people didn’t have enough to eat.

Freid put together a team that would establish the North York Harvest Food Bank, where he became the founding executive director at the age of 25.

Freid’s life of community activism had begun, a calling which reached new heights during the late 1990s when the former Mike Harris provincial government slashed welfare benefits.

Harris blamed the federal government for cutting

transfer payments to the provinces, Freid said.

"So, the Harris government took it out on Canada’s poorest people," the 56year-old Richmond Hill resident said while sitting in his Aurora office, which is adorned with a "What would Johnny Cash do?" picture.

A group of food bank officials headed to Ottawa to hold a press conference, appointing Freid as their "designated pit bull."

He lambasted politicians for the downward domino effect of policies that devastated Canada’s most vulnerable.

Freid was at the food bank for more than 20 years before taking over at the helm of York’s Alzheimer society in June 2008.

The son of a father who survived the Holocaust and mother who fought breast cancer twice (both his parents are now deceased), he learned to advocate in a new way, moving away from the "fire and brim-

"I came from that experi-

ence and that history to be a bit in your face, a bit pushing the message out and now I’m in health care and I’m not in Toronto, I’m in York Region and there was

a bit of an abrasive air that, really, I had to learn to pull back on a bit because things are just done differently.

"I just come from those

Mike Harris years where you were just getting no respect and, so you were just firing it back," he said.

"I had to learn how to pull back and how to establish relationships in a different sort of way here. So, that was a bit of a learning experience. I’m mellower but people will say you keep pushing, you just keep advocating, you just have to keep on pushing back but I’ve done it now in a different sort of way."

Still, Freid, married to his wife Lisa for 22 years and father of 13-year-old Emma-Belle, continues to make his voice heard.

Last year, he warned about the growing number of Alzheimer’s and dementia cases, especially in fastgrowing York Region.

"While dementia is not a normal part of the aging process, age is its most significant risk factor. So, York Region is essentially ground zero for seeing an increase in people with dementia," he said.

Masking true cost of hydro won’t fix broken system

TheLiberal.

Our hydro bills may be going down this summer, but don’t pop the bubbly just yet.

While Ontario residents will see an average 25 per cent reduction on the bottom line, what they won’t see is what it’s going to cost future generations and the current structural inefficiencies and ongoing bad planning that make electricity expensive for us in the first place.

Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the savings this month saying it was the fair thing to do. She heard from families struggling with their bills and struggling to understand why rates have skyrocketed.

Unfortunately, because the history of hydro and its mismanagement is such a long and complicated one, politicians looking to distract would-be voters benefit from its current complexity. People don’t get it and don’t have the time, the comprehension or the willingness to figure it out. What they do get is how hard it is to pay a huge bill.

So Wynne’s Liberals are waving a shiny 25 per cent hydro cut over here, while over there, our expensive hydro system continues to plod along.

The lower bills come from refinancing the term of payment the province owes to private power providers - from 20 years to 30. So we’re deferring costs to future generations in order to get some immediate relief.

And we’re incurring about $25 billion in extra interest charges over that time.

Additional relief will be coming through low-income and rural subsidy programs, but that too comes at a cost of $2.5 billion over the next three years charged to Ontario’s treasury and taxpayers.

As tempting as it is to celebrate lower bills, with an election year in 2018, we need to hold all parties to account to do more than float distractions.

Ontario generates more power than it knows what to do with and we’re forced to sell it to our neighbours at a discounted rate. Sometimes we have to pay for them to take it.

The sale of Hydro One has locked us into guaranteed contracts with private power providers whether we need that power or not. There’s little transparency as to the details of private contracts and that takes accountability right out of the system.

We need a comprehensive plan and a system overhaul.

Keep that in mind when you’re told to celebrate your June power bill. It’s not nearly enough.

Story on Trump and health resonates Re: Trump, terrorism and 24-hour news cycle hurt mental, physical health, Jan. 31.

I want to commend you on your excellent article in Thursday’s Liberal.

I’m certain it will resonate with a lot of people.

I know it will with friends of mine who have all been addicted to CNN for some time and are vowing to take a break from watching and reading bad news.

The tips on how to counteract this are timely, but it takes some discipline for those of us addicted, not to mention the constant focus on Trump in the media.

Thank you.

Lots to worry about at home Reading a recent issue, I came to the conclusion that your staff is positive that we little people are in shock from the fact that the leader of a foreign country is doing exactly what he promised to do if elected.

But why would we worry about this? Our elected leader already has broken virtually all his promises, so it’s business as usual here in Canada.

On the other hand, we’ve got a lot of other things to worry about: skyrocketing costs of virtually everything led by housing and energy, new carbon taxes, rationed and deteriorating healthcare, falling grades of students in math, GTA-wide traffic gridlock, inadequate public transit, business over regulation...

And how about the fact that every newborn baby in Ontario gets "rewarded" with $40K of federal and provincial debt?

So do you still think that we have nothing to worry about but Trump?

Stay alert as you spring ahead SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com The negative impact of daylight saving time can be lessened, according to Dr. Paul Cantarutti, chief of Family and Community Medicine at Southlake Regional Health Centre.

Dr. Cantarutti points out that in the three days after the transition to daylight saving, there is a documented increase in heart attacks. He has seen this phenomenon most while working on the emergency ward.

"The reason is not clear.

It is thought it has an impact on circadian rhythms. It alters cortisol levels, a hormone secreted by adrenal glands," he said.

Daylight saving time begins Sunday March 12.

The day after the change to daylight saving, the number of car accidents increases, he said.

The reason for this is not

known but it is thought the change triggers increase in fatigue and sleep disorders. It is also thought to impact childhood behaviour, he said. Children sometimes become tired and cranky the day or two after the switch, he said.

Dr. Cantarutti points out that by springing forward, we lose an hour of sleep.

Here is what Dr. Cantarutti recommends: 1) Make a gradual transition. Go to bed each night 15 minutes earlier for a few days or a week leading up to the change.

2) Practice good sleep

hygiene by avoiding caffeine for several hours before bed. This includes coffee, tea, chocolate and energy drinks.

3) Avoid eating for a few hours before bed because then your body has to actively metabolize the food and it activates the nervous system which interferes with sleep.

4) Keep distractions such as televisions and other electronics out of the bedroom. Charge your cellphone in another room, not next to your bed. Don’t read before bed or surf the Internet or have heavy conversations because this will impair your ability to initiate sleep, he said.

5) As for the impact on children, the same principles of good sleep hygiene apply as they do for adults.

They need a predictable sleep-wake cycle. So make sure they go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.

Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Canadian author who penned a beloved series of novels that began with Anne of Green Gables, was born in Prince Edward Island Nov. 30, 1874. The novel, her most famous, was written in 1905 and rejected several times before publication in 1908. It marked the beginning of a successful literary career. Since its publication, Anne of Green Gables has sold more than 50 million copies and has been translated into 20 languages.

KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Owners of a typical Richmond Hill home assessed at $856,300 can expect to pay an additional $171.93 in property taxes this year.

Council has approved a 4.39 per cent increase to the municipal portion of the total property tax bill which, when combined with the Region of York and school board impacts to the tax bill, amounts to an overall tax rate increase of 2.6 per cent.

Councillors agreed to a 2017 operating budget of $161.99 million at a special council meeting Feb. 28.

That is a 3.7 per cent increase over last year’s operating budget of $156.2 million.

They also approved a

capital asset sustainability fee of $30 to pay for infrastructure repairs and maintenance.

The operating budget includes a 1.46 per cent increase for fire and emergency services to hire eight additional firefighters and a fire prevention inspector.

In order to meet best practice standards as set by the National Fire Protection Association, the town’s newly adopted Fire Master Plan identified a need to increase the number of firefighter positions. The additional firefighters will staff Richmond Hill’s only fire rescue truck which is housed at Station 8-1 and attends all technical rescue incidents, significant vehicle accidents and all fire calls.

LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com The time it takes to provide medical care to someone suffering from a sudden cardiac arrest in York Region needs to improve, Markham Coun. Jack Heath says.

The Ministry of Health has set a target time of anyone in the community, including paramedics, using an automatic defibrillator on a cardiac arrest victim to be within six minutes 60 per cent of the time.

Defibrillators can be found in many public buildings such as recreation centres.

Even though York exceeds the ministry’s target, hitting the six-minute guideline 70 per cent of the time, Heath said that’s not good enough.

"I’m pleased with sudden cardiac arrest (response), we’re meeting

the target of six minutes 70 per cent of the time. Of course, that means 30 per cent of the time, we’re not meeting the six minutes, and I worry that six minutes certainly may leave someone no longer in distress but passed away," he said at a regional committee discussion March 2 on paramedic response times.

"I don’t know whether or not I can easily sell that target and sell the performance as being the best the public would expect."

A report on the region’s response times for 2016 shows paramedics respond to sudden cardiac arrest, major trauma and severe respiratory distress within eight minutes 80 per cent of the time.

"I think our public would like better numbers than that," Heath said.

"The public would like

better numbers than that.

We do a good job. But if your father or your mother or what have you has a heart attack, you want them there in three or four minutes, not in eight or nine," he said.

Sudden cardiac arrest is a very infrequent occurrence, with paramedics responding to about 500 a year among 85,000 calls, Norm Barrette, chief of paramedic services, said.

But because the condition requires the fastest response time, the ministry has set the six-minute community target, he said.

The best way to improve that is to have more defibrillators in the community and to educate more residents about how to respond, Barrette said.

"We have exceptional response times in York Region, and paramedics work very hard each and every day to achieve the

shortest times from a 911 call to when paramedics arrive and start taking care of the patient," he said.

"Paramedics are part of achieving that target but so is the rest of the community. So, how can we make further improvements? It’s really how do we better connect people who are in the community to become engaged."

Given the size of the region, the mix of urban and rural communities, traffic congestion and high call demand that has increased by 34 per cent over the last five years, paramedics are responding "exceptionally well" to emergencies and are achieving faster response times annually, Barrette added.

Meanwhile, the region has made recommendations over the years to the province to improve the dispatch system, he said.

14 CRIME

Fraudster cop fired for phoney massage invoices Richmond Hill’s Salwa Husseini claimed for about $1,200 for bogus massages JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com The York police union plans to seek a judicial review after a female police officer was fired for benefits fraud soon after two colleagues accused of the same offence were allowed to keep their jobs.

Former Const. Salwa Husseini, a Richmond Hill officer, was fired from her job after she falsely claimed to have received 15 massage therapy treatments totalling $1,224.

In her professional services hearing, she cited a series of personal issues, including the breakup of her marriage, her ex-husband’s bankruptcy and a subsequent relationship

that turned abusive.

She further explained that she was not spending the money on luxury items, rather using it as spending cash as she continued to pay off her debt, which she said ranged from $70,000 to $100,000.

Colleagues who spoke on her behalf at the hearing said that during this time Husseini worked more paid duty than anyone in the officer, earning her the nickname "pay duty queen."

She said she was paying off items including a $14,000 student loan and a $48,000 loan to pay for her wedding.

However the panel also found that during this time she went on vacations to Jamaica and the Bahamas.

It was also said that she was spending money on alcohol and cigarettes, although these habits were a way for her to deal with the stress of her debt.

Hearing officer and York police Supt. Graeme

Downtown Power in an Uptown Firm

Turl found Husseini should be fired. One of the reasons, on top of her dishonesty, was her lack of service at the force.

"In this case, we have an officer who was with us for 1 3/4 quarter years before starting to steal from the organization," he wrote.

"Thus there is no significant mitigating facture of tenure nor is there a significant risk-management tool in relation to investment. This is a considerable difference between this case and Macdonald even though Macdonald took more and may have altered more documents."

In two other recent fraud cases, Const. Stuart Coleman, who has worked for the service since 2005, defrauded the insurance firm for $21,547 and Const.

Eric MacDonald, who has worked for the service since 1999, took $6,373.

In all, the service has been defrauded by six employees, the document noted.

Thank you for voting SBMB Law best in the Readers’ Choice category of Legal Services, again.

However, in possibly the first nonunanimous OCPC decision, a panellist dissented, noting that if Coleman and MacDonald were allowed to stay with the police, Husseini should also be given this right.

He also suggested Turl’s decision to dismiss the appellant is "unreasonable" as well as "harsh and excessive."

"The hearing officer’s failure to set out . logically in his reasons why the appellant was to be dismissed when other officers in similar factual circumstances were demoted, seriously undermines the concept of consistency," wrote lawyer Roy Conacher.

Union president Todd Sepkowski said he would like to see a more uniform approach.

"We were a surprised and disappointed seeing that the consistency across the province has not been this," he said.

Mike Barrett/Metroland

York police union president Todd Sepkowski helped negotiate a new contract that was ratified after a six-month delay.

After appealing that decision to the Ontario Civilian Police Commission

(OCPC), two members of the panel upheld the decision.

Beat the winter blues with garden-inspired scents Many of us crave the fresh sights and scents of the warm weather in the depths of winter. And even though it’s not spring yet, you can beat the winter blues by transforming your home into a fragrant, garden-scented oasis. Fragrances from common backyard plants can enhance our mood and lift our winter-weary spirits.

“Plants have scent characteristics that evoke specific emotions and even have wellness properties,” says Pam Helms, co-founder of Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day and scent sommelier.

“There’s relaxing lavender, cool and crisp basil, energizing lemon verbena or soothing honeysuckle. Energizing scents work best in the kitchen, while something more relaxing is ideal for the bathroom or bedroom.”

Helms explains how you can bring different scents into your home.

“Natural, plant-scented candles or diffusers are an easy way to bring freshness to every room,” rec-

ommends Helms. “If you’re feeling creative, make your own indoor scented garden with pretty planters. Not only will it smell amazing, but it’ll add a pop of colour too.”

Another practical way to add incredible scents to your home is through cleaning and creating an aroma therapeutic experience while you do it.

“It provides you with a wonderful sensory experience while cleaning to make the process more enjoyable, and also leaves your home smelling like a fresh garden,” Helms explains. “Use products that combine essential oils in fragrance compositions, like new-to-Canada Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day. The line of products includes pleasing scents that you’ll want to use again and again.”
